4 L'ECHiO DEDICATION EQ This book, known as L'ECl'IO, is hereby dedicated to the American Youth by the Senior Class of the Curwensville High School. The Class knows of no better personification of the American Youth than Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. He came into prominence, not with the trappings of royalty nor with a retinue of distinguished ancestors, but as an humble and well trained son, in the morn and liquid dew of youth would go about the ordinary duties of life. He did not announce, months ahead, just what he was about to attempt, believing that He that regardeth the wind shall not sow and he that regardeth the colds shall not reap, but when his plans were completed and conditions thought favorable he proceeded to carry out one of the most daring achievements known to man, and had actually accomplished his ambition, which startled the world, before the world knew there lived such a man as Charles A. Lindbergh. The spirit of life, of achievement, of American citizenship, as represented by Colonel Lindbergh, is hereby extolled and held up as one of the greatest in the annals of the world, and worthy of our meditation, our reverence, and our praise. The stars in their courses seemed to fight with him above the clouds, over the sea and in the midst of the pomp and splendor of the world. Colonel Lindbergh might have failed before reaching France and been lost in the clouds and in the sea forever. He might have failed after reaching France by losing his head, when all about him were losing theirs. But as his heart beat strong and his equilibrium was maintained in his lonely flight, away from the humanities of the world and among the storms of the elements, so did he maintain and preserve his balance and exemplify those rare virtues of American citizenship among the crowds and in the presence of ambassadors and kings. Colonel Lindberg's victory was a double victory- FIRST-His achievement in doing something never before accomplished by man and thereby receiving the plaudits of the world. SECOND-His keeping his head, his modesty, his common sense and clean habits, and thereby winning again not only the plaudits of the world but also the Laurel Crown of sustained and dignified victory, belonging to an ambassador of Good Will to the World. Class of 1928.
